Worried about a fellow student?
If you notice any changes in a friend or fellow student's manner, behaviour, or appearance that gives you cause for concern, please contact us. We can offer them (and you if you need it) the assistance and support that will help.
Mental Health and Wellbeing
University life can be tough and it is not uncommon for some students to experience challenges with their mental wellbeing during their studies. Your mental health affects how you think and feel and how you deal with everyday life. However, despite it affecting everybody and being a normal part of life, people are often reluctant to talk about their mental health.
Help is available
Liverpool Hope provides a confidential, professional mental health and well-being service to assist and advise students who are experiencing challenges with their mental health which may be affecting their studies, engagement with wider student life, or general feeling of personal well-being. This help is available to all students who feel that they would benefit from some support to help better deal with any aspect of life while at university.
If you want to find out more about the service or feel you need an initial discussion regarding support, our Student Engagement Officers are available each day for you to have a chat with. The Officers are recent graduates so if you feel more comfortable chatting to them first then you can contact them at studentengagement@hope.ac.uk.
If you have any further questions, or you wish to access the service, please contact Student Life and a member of the team will assist you.
